Cereal germ market in Côte d'Ivoire

Earlier Report Observations

The cereal germ market in Côte d'Ivoire began at 38 252 metric tons in 2018, supported by the interlinked cultivation of corn and cotton in the north, which enhanced traditional cereal output. A slight rise to 38 727 metric tons followed in 2019, as diversification into cashew farming indirectly sustained grain production. Growth accelerated sharply to 50 450 metric tons in 2020, driven by national agricultural policies that prioritized food crops and aimed to increase the value of cereals.

After reaching a peak, the market stabilized at 49 131 metric tons in 2021.
